The translators word this verse differently
Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and oppose the messenger after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, they hurt Allah not a jot, and He will make their actions fruitless

Those who disbelieve, and hinder from the path of God, and oppose the Messenger after guidance has become clear to them-they will not hurt God in the least, but He will nullify their deeds.

নিশ্চয় যারা কুফরী করেছে, আল্লাহর পথে বাধা দিয়েছে এবং তাদের নিকট হিদায়াতের পথ সুস্পষ্ট হওয়ার পরেও রাসূলের বিরোধিতা করেছে, তারা আল্লাহর কোনোই ক্ষতি করতে পারবে না। আর শীঘ্রই তিনি তাদের আমলসমূহ নিষ্ফল করে দিবেন।
Oni koji ne vjeruju i od Allahovog puta odvraćaju, koji su Poslanikovi protivnici, kad im je već postao jasan Pravi put, zaista neće nimalo Allahu nauditi. On će djela njihova poništiti.

ჭეშმარიტად, ისინი, ვინც ურწმუნონი გახდნენ და (ხალხი) ალლაჰის გზიდან ააცდინეს და შუამავალს ზურგი აქციეს, მას შემდეგ, რაც მათთვის ჭეშმარიტი გზა ნათელი გახდა, ისინი ალლაჰს ვერანაირად ვერ ავნებენ, ხოლო ის მათ საქმეებს ამაოდ გახდის.
Wahrlich, diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, vom Weg Allahs abhalten und sich dem Gesandten widersetzen, nachdem ihnen die Rechtleitung klar geworden ist, können Allah in nichts schaden. Und Er wird ihre Taten hinfällig werden lassen.
Πράγματι, εκείνοι που αρνούνται την πίστη, αποτρέπουν τους ανθρώπους από τον δρόμο του Αλλάχ και αντιτίθενται στον Αγγελιαφόρο αφού τους έχει γίνει σαφής η καθοδήγηση, δε θα βλάψουν τον Αλλάχ σε τίποτε και (ο Αλλάχ) θα καταστήσει τις πράξεις τους μάταιες.
निःसंदेह जिन लोगों ने कुफ़्र किया और अल्लाह की राह से रोका तथा रसूल का विरोध किया, इसके पश्चात कि उनके लिए सीधा मार्ग स्पष्ट हो गया, वे कदापि अल्लाह का कोई नुक़सान नहीं करेंगे और जल्द ही वह उनके कर्मों को नष्ट कर देगा।
In verità i miscredenti e quelli che hanno sbarrato la via di Allāh e hanno contrastato il Profeta, dopo che si è mostrata loro la Retta Via, non faranno male ad Allāh, e vanificherà le loro azioni.
32. Iš tiesų, tie, kurie netiki, ir kliudo (žmonėms) sekti Allaho Keliu (Islamu), ir prieštarauja Pranašui (įžeidinėdami jį) po to, kai tiesus kelias jiems buvo aiškiai parodytas, jie nė kiek nepakenks Allahui, bet Jis padarys jų darbus beverčiais.

Воистину, те, которые отвергли веру, отвращали от пути Аллаха и воспротивились Посланнику после того, как им стало ясно верное руководство, не причинят Аллаху никакого вреда, и Он сделает тщетными их деяния.
Заиста, они који не верују и одвраћају од Аллаховог пута, и који се супротстављају Посланику, након што им је постала јасна Упута, неће нимало да науде Аллаху, и Он ће да поништи њихова дела.
Kwa hakika wale waliokufuru na wakazuilia njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu na wakapingana na Mtume baada ya uongofu kwisha wabainikia, hao hawatamdhuru Mwenyezi Mungu kwa lolote. Naye ataviangusha vitendo vyao.
De som framhärdar i otro och hindrar andra från Guds väg och trotsar sändebudet, efter att vägledningen blivit tydlig för dem, kommer aldrig att kunna tillfoga Gud någon skada, och han ska låta deras handlingar gå om intet.
Şüphe yok ki kâfir olanlar, Allah’ın yolundan alıkoyanlar ve hidayet kendilerine apaçık göründükten sonra rasule karşı gelenler Allah’a asla hiçbir zarar veremezler ve o bunların amellerini boşa çıkaracaktır.
یقیناً جن لوگوں نے کفر کیا اور اللہ کی راه سے لوگوں کو روکا اور رسول کی مخالفت کی اس کے بعد کہ ان کے لئے ہدایت ﻇاہر ہو چکی یہ ہرگز ہرگز اللہ کا کچھ نقصان نہ کر سکیں گے[1] ۔ عنقریب ان کے اعمال وه غارت کردے گا.[2]
5 cleared translations, newest first, by year of publication, so the modern English comes before the historical ones. That is an ordering by date, not a judgement. Each is shown complete — this platform never excerpts a translation — and each renders under its translator's name. No translation here is marked as the correct one.
Which translations appear here is set by copyright: they are the ones whose rights could be documented and cleared. The selection is not a judgement that these are the best.
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The translators word this verse differently
Had We willed, We could have shown them to you, and you would have recognized them by their marks. Yet you will recognize them by their tone of speech. And God knows your actions.
And if We would, We could show them unto thee (Muhammad) so that thou shouldst know them surely by their marks. And thou shalt know them by the burden of their talk. And Allah knoweth your deeds
But did we please we would show thee them, and thou shouldst know them by their cognisances. But thou shalt know them by their distorting their speech, and God knows their works
If such were our pleasure, we could point them out to thee, and thou surely know them by their tokens: and know them thou shalt, by the strangeness of their words. God knoweth your doings
If We pleased, We could surely shew them unto thee, and thou shouldest know them by their marks; but thou shalt certainly know them by their perverse pronunciation of their words. God knoweth your actions
وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ حَتَّىٰ نَعْلَمَ ٱلْمُجَٰهِدِينَ مِنكُمْ وَٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ وَنَبْلُوَا۟ أَخْبَارَكُمْ

We will certainly test you, until We know those among you who strive, and those who are steadfast, and We will test your reactions.
And verily We shall try you till We know those of you who strive hard (for the cause of Allah) and the steadfast, and till We test your record
But we will try you until we know those among you who fight strenuously and the patient; and we will try the reports concerning you
And we will surely test you, until we know the valiant and the steadfast among you: and we will test the reports of your conduct
And We will try you, until We know those among you who fight valiantly, and who persevere with constancy; and We will try the reports of your behaviour

In plain words — none yet for this verse
These figures count the words the translations share. They measure wording, not meaning, and they do not say which translation is right.
Derived measure: mean pairwise Jaccard distance over the lowercased word sets of the 5 renderings above — 0.66 on a scale where 0 means identical wording and 1 means no shared words. It is computed, not judged.
The page says a verse is worded differently only above the cut below. The cut is a stated convention, not a property of the text, and it can be changed.
One bar per pair of renderings, longest bar for the pair sharing fewest words. Every pair is shown; none is singled out.
The platform does not say which is right, and does not characterise what the difference means. The renderings are placed together so the difference is visible; reading it is the reader's work.

7 sources stand behind this page. Each is listed once, in the order the page first cites it, with the licence it was cleared under and what was actually read. Nothing on this page rests on a source that is not here.
CLEARED. Licence read verbatim from the block embedded in this very file. Ingested exactly as shipped: no normalisation, no stripping of marks, no Unicode recomposition.
CLEARED on a licence read first-hand from the translator's own download page, not from an aggregator. Tanzil also hosts this translation, but under a blanket "non-commercial purposes only" term that directs the user to the translator or publisher for permission - a hosting disclaimer, not a grant - so the grant was taken from the licensor directly. The "God" edition was ingested; ClearQuran also publishes an "Allah" edition, differing in how the divine name is rendered, which is not ingested.
CLEARED ON THE WORK, WITH TWO RECORDED CAVEATS ON THIS COPY. (1) Rights basis is the expired copyright term, NOT the redistributing repository's licence. That repository dedicates its contents to the public domain under the Unlicense while also redistributing plainly in-copyright translations (Abdel Haleem, Saheeh International, The Study Quran), so it is dedicating rights it cannot hold and its blanket grant is not relied upon here. (2) The file declares its own upstream as tanzil.net, and Tanzil attaches a non-commercial condition to its TRANSLATION distributions, though not to its Qur'anic text. Since Pickthall's copyright has expired, nobody holds rights in these words and no licence is required from anyone; Tanzil's terms are a contract binding those who download from Tanzil, which we did not. The chain is nonetheless not spotless and Anwar may prefer a clean digitisation of the 1930 printing. NOT VERIFIED: that this digital text matches the 1930 first printing rather than a later revised edition. No page images were collated. Recorded as unverified rather than presented as established. SERVED TEXT DIFFERS FROM THE CITED FILE AT ONE VERSE, 37:97: the file reads "red-hotfire" (a glued token, also in Gutenberg #16955); the served row reads "red-hot fire", restored 2026-09-13 from Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (London: George Allen & Unwin, printed for Alfred A. Knopf; 1930), p. 460, XXXVII 97 - scan archive.org in.ernet.dli.2015.216140, PDF page 475; banked data/derivation-sources/pickthall-1930-dli-2015.216140-text.pdf (sha256 70e81146c97fa3a590243a82e04e349108546074787e2551a78c616202138870) on Anwar Malik's grant.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is not stated by the redistributor and the printing is unverified. No statement of purpose is recorded for Palmer because none was sourced from his own preface in this pass; nothing is asserted on his behalf.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. TWO edition caveats. (1) The upstream is not stated by the redistributor. (2) Rodwell's own edition PRESENTS THE SURAHS IN HIS OWN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, not the mushaf order — he says so in his preface. This digital text is keyed to mushaf order, so it derives from a restored-order printing (such as the Everyman edition) rather than from Rodwell's own arrangement. Which printing is not stated and has not been established.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is NOT STATED by the redistributor, so the printing it represents is unverified; Sale's text was reprinted and re-edited many times between 1734 and 1900. Recorded as unverified rather than assumed to be the first edition.
CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
